I usually make egg puff's and curry puff's together...an evening snack for rainy day
Ingredients:
Puff Pastry Sheets - 1 sheet (Makes 9 in one sheet)
Eggs -- 4 hard boiled and cut into half
Onions -- 1 medium chopped fine
Ginger garlic paste -- 1/2 tbsp
Tumeric -- 1/4 tsp
Coriander leaves -- finely chopped
Coriander powder -- 1/2 tsp
Red Chilli Powder -- 1 tsp (accordingly)Cumin seeds -- 1/4 tsp
Salt -- to taste
Oil - 2 tbsps
Method:
Heat some oil in the pan,add the cumin seeds,onions, turmeric and mix well until it turn light golden brown color. Now add ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, coriander powder and mix well. Close the lid and let it cook for another 2 minutes and turn off the stove.
Above procedure is not necessary, but i like little spicy , instead of just the egg in my puff's so I make this.
To make Puff's:
Take the pastry sheet and put it outside from the freezer for 5 minutes. Open the pastry sheet now and make 9 pieces of squares in the sheet. Place 1 tsp of the stuffing inside it on the slighting position and place the egg on the top leaving the while of the egg on the top. Close it by pulling all the four sides and close it. Complete stuffing all the 9 puff's.
As an easy alternative for a spicy taste you can also mix chill powder, salt and coriander powder in a small bowl, and sprinkle this over the egg after while wrapping the egg in the puff sheets.
Place it into the oven on 420 degree Fahrenheit for 40 minutes, until its little brown. Tastes good with Tomato sauce.
